New Jersey email support group!!



Recommended Posts

I want to get folks in the NJ tri-state area together via email and eventually have some in-person support groups in Central NJ. We get a lot of great advice on this site and I want to continue to do that, but for those of us who are close geographically, I would love to get together. And I also had the idea of playing "matchmaker" for single sleevers. What do you folks think?

More importantly I personally want and need support from all of you so anyone who wants to email can do so. I've already "met" some great people and I'd love to meet more. I've been having personal issues that I was able to "talk" about to people here and I appreciate them a lot for "listening". I also had some doubs about getting sleeved and the great folks here talked me through them.

Email me anytime or PM me here. My email is recipes (LOL) email me.

I hope to hear from all of you folks!!

Hey I'm not living in NJ/NY/PA but I will definitely be here for support!

I'm so glad you got all of your issues worked out and you have a date...exciting! Have you met and do you like the new surgeon? You know you can PM or email me anytime, this has been the best support group ever...and I've been to my surgeon's support group and this online community far outweighs that!

You've been here for support from Day 1 so I thank you and appreciate that very much!

I haven't met my new surgeon yet but I have an appointment for the 28th to meet him. I'm hearing good things about him.

Once I meet him I will be more comfortable and less nervous but I'm still very excited about getting approved and getting a date and finally getting sleeved!!

I'm definitely going to stay in touch with you and I hope you do the same. Have a wonderful holiday with your family!!

Hey there, I'm in central NJ but I had my sleeve in MX! I used to have a band that was fond by a surgeon here in NJm, but never really went to his support group. I really get more out of the online groups. I would be more than happy to get an email group or coffee/meet up going in central NJ with you! I'm 9 weeks out now and still learning the sleeve ropes!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
